Let Nashbar put you on the right road with their aluminum-framed Flat Bar Road Bike. The Flat Bar means the added comfort of a cross-training bike but with the performance you need for a good jaunt on the road. This unique frame is amply adorned with shifting components by Shimano, and featuring a comfy saddle and other lighter weight goodies such as aluminum brakes, seatpost, and handlebars, the Flat Bar Road Bike is an excellent way to fall in love with cycling and never look back.

Aluminum frame is durable but takes away unwanted weight

Alloy mini-V brake system provides amazing stopping control

24-speed drive train means excellent top speeds as well as advanced climbing ability

I use the bike to ride to and from school and work each day. Riding my mountain bike was getting to be too much work for the distance and amount of uphill riding. This bike is great because it combines the speed and low friction of a road bike with a more comfortable riding position. It's heavy for a road bike, but overall it works great and I'm happy with it. I was looking at similarly-equipped bikes from top name brands, but this one was much cheaper.

I bought this bike for a trip because it was cheaper than shipping my bike on the plane. The bike arrived in good shape just a small ding in the paint on the headtube and some scratches on the front wheel but nothing important. Assembly was easy. It had a blown tube on the rear wheel so I had to replace that before I could ride. All the gears shifted fine and the brakes work OK after a little adjustment. I brought my seat and pedals plus some other accessories to make it more comfortable and so far have about 300mi on this bike. It feels nice and stiff and climbs well and handles good at 30mph downhill. I rode this bike from Santa Barbara to LA last week with no problems. Great bike for the money.

Bought this to have something to ride on the roads instead of my Specialized MTB. Very pleased with the bike as it compares to some of the $450-$550 bikes i was looking at. My wife liked it soo much she took it from me and i ordered another one for myself. Had others ride it and they have already ordered one. Only wished the seat had some tilt adjustment but that's the only thing i can find i would change.

The bike is great, love the no decal look and it rides nicely. Will probably switch to 32mm tires and install my racks to make it a great commuter bike. Not a fault of the bike but the fork came a bit scratched and it has taken forever to get a replacement out to me.

The bicycle has good components, example, wheels, chain, derailleurs, brakes and handle grips. The derailleurs are adjusted correctly from the factory. An assembly manual or illustration sheet should be included. The handle bar is backwards and must be rotated 180 degrees around the head set so that the hand grips are correct. The head set is tightened with the hex screw in the center so there is no play. The saddle is fairly comfortable for a stock item. The bicycle has an aluminum frame and front fork, however the bicycle is 25 lbs. without water bottle cages, pump, computer, or flashing (front and back) safety lights. There are screws and fittings for the water bottle cages (2 each) and if one wants, a rear fender and rear rack to carry items. The brakes work well and the bicycle is quiet. The 21 inch frame fits well in both the arm length (my arms being slightly bent) and the leg position (my leg being slightly bent) at the bottom of the stroke. I am 5 feet 10 inches in height. I would recommend the bicycle even if one is an avid cyclist, but not for racing or training.

I bought the 17" frame for my wife who is 5'3" and it fits well (a larger rider would be able to use it also). The bike weighed in at 25.5 lbs assembled which was a huge plus over her old entry level Giant MTB tank. I'm not a bike guru, but assembly was easy. The handlebars were attached backwards, but this is an easy fix. All things considered, this was a great value to get her into a bike that can move a bit w/o spending $600+ for an entry level bike at the LBS.
